    [OC] I tracked my 2025 alcohol consumption

    In 2025, I used the app Alcogram to track all of my alcoholic drinks. The app allows to track volume but I didn't utilize this feature. With a CSV file, I was able to use Gemini to create the graphs. Top level highlights:

    • Total number of drinks: 715
    • Total Cost of drinks: USD $4,101.21
    • Drinking frequency: 170 out of 365 days (46.6%).
    • Intensity: 4.2 drinks / day on days that I drank
    • Longest Binge: 13 straight days with at least 1 drink
    • Longest Rest: 17 straight days

    The analysis showed ~40% of the drinks were free (I didn't track this properly) but I wouldn't be surprised if the number is probably as high as 25%.

      I’m curious about your higher Tuesday and Thursday drinking. Is your work pattern different than the standard Monday-Friday?

      How did you get so many free drinks?

      That’s something like $1,700 worth of alcohol

      This is alcoholism. It will absolutely age you before your time and screw up your body. You really need to discuss treatment with your doctor. At least in my country (Canada), the recommended alcohol consumption is < 2 drinks/week.

      The averages are glossing over some of the behaviours here. I’d love to see even more granularity that sheds more light on your binge drinking patterns.

      Ok I also happen to track all my substances. Might as well share my alcohol consumption as well:

      * **Total number of drinks**: ~276 (3870g of ethanol) (eyeballing the error to about 5%)
      * **Total Cost of drinks**: under 300usd (?) (converted from czk)
      * **Drinking frequency:** 46 out of 365 days (12,6%).
      * **Intensity:** 6 drinks/day, on days that I drank
      * **Longest Binge:** 5 straight days with at least 1 drink (was on a roadtrip with friends)
      * **Longest Rest:** 22 days
      * **Average grams of ethanol/day:** 10,6g/day (0,75 drinks/day)

      I don’t really track the price. But I would guess I had a higher percentage of free drinks than OP. Maybe like 30-40% assuming his 25% estimate is correct.

      My consumption is steadily slowing down since I started tracking it (but not because of it, it’s a trend that has been happening for quite a bit longer, I guess I could have surpassed 450 drinks a year easily 5-4 years ago).

      I can’t easily export into graphs since I have the data in a json. I have tracked 6260g of ethanol in total since I started tracking it at the 4th of July 2024 (564 days)

      So 365 days prior and back (in those 564-365 days) my average was 12,11g/day. And the average in the last 6 months is: 9,3g/day (but I blame the new years eve, I had like 20 drinks.)

      I’m not going to tell you if you need to cut back or what.

      I’m replying to say, kudos to you for actually making the effort to objectively track your drinking.

      Most people severely underestimate their own drinking and there’s a high likelihood that many people responding here (telling you that you should cut back) are unknowingly lying to themselves about their own drinking habits.

      How old are you, if you don’t mind?

      I looked at this and thought shit that’s a lot, but then I remembered my 20s where one night out alone could mean 20 drinks

      I’m glad you put the cost there because my first thought was “I can’t afford to drink that much”
